What is being recalled

POWER STEERING PUMP BRACKET IS SUBJECT TO BREAKAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE TENSION CAUSED BY A LACK OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE PUMP MOUNTING BRACKET AND SEALING FLANGE EDGE OF THE OIL PAN.

Why it is dangerous

BRACKET BREAKAGE COULD ALLOW POWER STEERING PUMP TO LOOSEN AND DRIVE BELT TO SLIP, RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR UNEXPECTED INCREASED STEERING FORCE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

REPLACE POWER STEERING PUMP BRACKET.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 90V-007 when calling a dealer.
